The Royal Cork Yacht Club has opened entries for its biennial Volvo Cork Week Regatta in Cork Harbour.
"It's the starting gun for the 2024 regatta," according to Cork Week Chairman Ross Deasy. "It will take place from Monday, July 15 to Friday July 19, and entries can now be submitted online.
" Volvo Cork Week 2024 will include a mix of courses, classes, and championships within its unique format. I am sure that all our competitors, whether this is their first Cork Week or their tenth, will find something new and exciting to enjoy in Crosshaven next July," said Deasy.
"As ever, Volvo Cork Week is an event run “By sailors for sailors”, we look forward to delivering another exceptional sailing regatta next July.”
The fourth edition of the Beaufort Cup, the prestigious inter-services sailing regatta, will be hosted by the Royal Cork Yacht Club during Volvo Cork Week 2024, with the support of the Irish Defence Forces.
The Beaufort Cup includes a mix of challenging offshore racing and tactical inshore competition, including an overnight race from the site of the Royal Cork’s original clubhouse in the inner harbour to the iconic Fastnet Rock and back to Cork.
Teams from the uniformed services and first-responders are invited to enter this prestigious competition, with the proviso that 50% of the crew of each boat must be active in the service they represent.
The club says that "representatives of any class associations interested in holding a championship event as part of Cork Week 2024 are invited to contact the organisers at racing@corkweek.ie.
